Columbia University canceled in-person classes Monday and police arrested several dozen protesters at Yale University as tensions on college campuses across the country continues to grow over the war in the Middle East.
The moves at the two Ivy League schools came hours hours before the Jewish holiday of Passover was set to begin Monday evening.
Police officers arrested about 45 protesters at Yale in Connecticut and charged them with misdemeanor trespassing, said Officer Christian Bruckhart, a spokesperson for New Haven police. All were being released on promises to appear in court, he said.
